Imagination Creates Reality by Neville Goddard (Read by Lila) 🎆Happy 4th of July! 🎇

imagination creates reality by neville goddard your own wonderful human imagination is the actual creative power of god within you it is your savior if you were thirsty water would be your savior if you needed a job employment would be your savior your imagination is the power to save you from whatever circumstances you now find yourself you can experience your heart's desire through the use of your imagination nothing is impossible to your imagination your imagination is unlimited in what it can accomplish if you can imagine something you can achieve it let me give you an example if you were unable to walk and were confined to a wheelchair you could close your eyes and imagine yourself running on the beach or wading in the water if you would imagine yourself doing this until it took on the tones of reality you could accomplish a healing that would allow you to actually walk or run the way to use your imagination creatively is this relax in a chair or on a bed and close your eyes first determine what it is you wish to experience then in this state of complete relaxation bring to mind the end result of what it is you desire in other words if you are seeking a promotion at work the end result might be that people would congratulate you on your promotion you might move to a larger office you would enjoy an increase in pay take any one of these events and with your eyes closed actually hear your friends congratulate you on your promotion feel their hands and yours as they tell you how happy they are for you by actually feeling that you are being congratulated your imagination will go to work to bring about that state in your outer world you need not be concerned about how this will be accomplished your imagination will use whatever natural means are necessary to bring it about i am the beginning and the end my ways are past finding out what you do in imagination is an instantaneous creative act however in this three-dimensional world events appear in a time sequence therefore it may take a short interval of time to realize in the outer world what you have just experienced in imagination after you have performed this act in your imagination open your eyes and go about your normal natural affairs confident that what you have done must come to fruition in your world make your inner conversations conform to your imaginal act you have planted a seed and you will soon see the harvest of that which you have sowed when you go into your imagination make sure that you are actually performing the action hearing the words touching the object or smelling the aroma in your self-conceived drama what you do in your imagination is not merely a daydreaming which you see events in your mind's eye you must enter the dream as if you were actually there you must make then now and make there here to make this perfectly clear imagine that you would experience driving a new car after you've achieved your goal in that case you would not merely see a new car in your mind's eye you must actually enter the dream feel yourself seated behind the steering wheel smell the newness of the interior feel yourself enjoying a comfortable ride feel the happiness that would be yours after accomplishing your dream that which you experience in imagination is an actual creative act it is a fact in the fourth dimension of space and will make its appearance in this three-dimensional world just as surely as planting a seed will result in the growth of a particular plant once you have planted this seed in your imagination do not uproot it by being anxious about how it will be accomplished each seed has its own appointed time some seeds take a few days others a little longer feel confident that what you have planted will appear in your world your imagination will draw all that it needs to make your dream an actual reality if it takes others to play a part in order to accomplish your end your imagination will draw that person into your drama to play his or her part in the sequence of events your only responsibility is to remain faithful to your imaginal act until you experience it in your outer world you can repeat your imaginal act each night before falling asleep in fact you may wish to reenact this drama over and over again until it feels normal and natural to you as you drop off to sleep your imagination will work out the means to realize your dreams while your conscious mind sleeps bring your five senses into play as you perform your imaginal activity actually hear a friend's voice congratulating you or feel yourself hugging that person if you wanted a new piano run your hands over the smooth wood touch the keys and listen to the sound if you wanted to receive a dozen roses actually smell the fragrance and touch their velvety petals finally you must be persistent in attaining your desire continue to imagine what you want until you have actually obtained it you do nothing else to obtain your desire if it is necessary to take some action you will be led to do so in a normal natural manner you do not have to help to do anything to help bring it about remember that it is god himself who is doing the work and he knows exactly how to accomplish it if you think of your desire during the day give thanks that it is already an accomplished fact because it is dream better than the best you know one cause nothing is impossible there are two ways to interpret this statement both of which are correct the obvious meaning is that it is possible to achieve anything you want it can also be interpreted to mean that it is impossible for nothing to exist everything we are aware of or perceive in some way is something it is inconceivable that something can come from nothing or that something can become nothing it is a fact that nature abhors a vacuum and always rushes to fill it in with something some force or power created all that is according to the bible creation is finished not only is creation finished but god said it was good have you ever considered what god could have used to create all there is if creation is finished how is it possible to pray to god to create something in your life that did not exist yesterday or today is it difficult to believe that god said his creation was good if all of creation is good why do people experience problems and how can wars crime starvation and other undesirable conditions exist the answer to these questions are contained within the following pages your understanding of these answers will enable you to see that it is impossible for nothing to exist you will also see that you can obtain anything you desire because nothing is impossible to the creative power that resides within you you can be and you can have all that you desire to be and to have there is no limit to what you can accomplish for yourself and others it doesn't matter what your present circumstances are the principle you have unconsciously used to bring about the undesirable conditions in your life can be consciously applied to make your every dream come true creation is finished and it is good god created the earth and all that is in it and god said it was good man has puzzled over these statements for centuries if man really understood the meanings he would not be confused nor would he feel anxious about his past present or future the understanding of these two statements would enable man to realize that he alone controls his actions and the circumstances of his life let us take the first statement god created the earth and all that is in it god is infinite therefore god must have been before any form came into being what substance could he have used to create all that exists there can be only one answer god created everything that exists from the only substance available himself god thought consciousness spoke the word and brought everything into being out of himself everything you perceive is made of the one substance god the one substance back of everything is energy and that energy is god or the word although scientists and medical men can analyze the various chemicals of which the body is made none can combine these chemicals to form a living person since god created all that is out of himself it follows that god is the creator and the creation god is expressing life through each and every one of us it could not be otherwise let us take the second statement god said that his creation was good that statement has confused a man who believes that if god is good another power must have created that which is not good ye man also acknowledges that god is infinite omnipotent omnipresent and omniscient these qualities of god must include all forms all events and all situations if it were possible to remove all that is discordant or inharmonious from the world it would not be possible to experience the reverse of that condition perhaps this statement can be understood more easily if you think of the principle of mathematics in adding the sum of 5 and 6 it is possible to obtain the incorrect answer of 12 to eliminate that possibility the number 12 would need to be removed from the whole of numbers it would therefore be impossible to add 6 and 6 and reach the correct answer of 12. you can see that by eliminating the possibility of a potential wrong answer all numbers would eventually be eliminated and mathematics would not be possible however just as mathematics exists and can be used by anyone who has gained an understanding of how to use the principle to obtain correct answers so the principle of creation can be understood to obtain desired results because god has given all of us free will you can choose the states you wish to occupy god does not predetermine your fate nor does god punish you for mistakes or misdeeds because a man may not understand the law of mathematics he may be adversely affected when he makes a mistake and subtracting an amount in his check register the law simply is and can be used correctly or incorrectly god has allowed you complete freedom to choose that which you will encounter when you come to the realization that you are god in form and expression you will seek to experience greater good and nobler purposes for yourself and others in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god the word is thought or imagination god imagined the world into being and became that which he conceived this is the principle on which all creation rests since god became man to give man life man must obtain that same creative principle within himself the kingdom of heaven is within you we have created our personal world through thought if you are experiencing lack limitation illness disharmony or any other unwanted condition you have either consciously or unconsciously brought these conditions into your experience the majority of people do not realize that thought belief and imagination has created their individual worlds there's no other cause for the conditions of your life you may choose to disbelieve this but whether you believe it or not all that you behold in the outer world was conceived within your own consciousness prior to your experience of it that which you think about with feeling that which you believe to be true and that which you imagine yourself to be or to have is the cause of everything in your personal world you may believe that there is some other cause you may blame others for your problems you may believe that the events were wrought by fate or chance but if you are objective and observe your own beliefs and thought patterns you will see that your world accurately reflects all that you believe to be true of yourself and others there is no one and nothing to change but the ideas from what you think we think from ideas what we consent to as true and we imagine situations that match our beliefs consciousness is the only reality it is the creative principle that brings into your experience the exact duplicate or reflection of that which you imagine to be true the world in which we live mirrors all that we believe and imagine to be true be a good bad or indifferent the sooner that man rids himself of the belief in a second cause the sooner will he realize that nothing happens to him except that which originates in his own consciousness i do not deny the man believes that if he contracts a certain germ or virus that he will manifest a particular illness or disease if he contemplates the cause he may conclude that it is because he came in contact with someone else who had the bug he doesn't realize that in some way his own feelings about health or illness attracted the illness he is experiencing if viruses or germs were truly the cause of disease everyone who came in contact with a particular virus would be affected the outer world merely reflects that which a man is in his own consciousness it doesn't matter what you have been taught you can change your beliefs and so change the circumstances of your life the bible states that when you pray believe that you have received and you shall have it most of us have read that statement or heard it at some time few people have actually prayed in that manner have you ever been ill and prayed for health if you needed money did you believe when you prayed that you already had the sum you asked for most people pray to god to change something in their lives or to give them something they do not have if their prayers were not answered they think that god had a reason for withholding that particular thing they think that perhaps god didn't grant their request because he didn't want them to attain their desire for some reason known only to god man sometimes thinks that god doesn't answer prayers because man is undeserving of that which he seeks man must learn to believe in that which he does not at the moment see in order to grant himself that which he desires to have man's prayers are always answered for he always receives that which he believes the law that governs prayer is impersonal prayer is the condition necessary to realize the desire no amount of please or ritual will bring about the fulfillment of your desires other than the belief that you are or have that which you want faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen the full meaning of that statement must be understood if the meaning were understood man would have no problem in accomplishing his aims most men believe that nothing is impossible to god that god can do anything if he chose to do it so man believes he has faith in god and prays to god for that which he wants if his prayer is not granted he thinks that he either did not pray long enough or hard enough or that god chose to withhold his request however faith is the actual substance of that which is hoped for it is the evidence of the thing you want which you do not see in the outer world that which you want to do or be has already been created therefore it actually does exist it is possible to bring into your world anything in creation by your belief that you already have it faith that what you want is already a fact is the means by which you activate the invisible state that state then is later reflected in your outer world creation is finished god can create nothing that is not already existent faith or belief that you already are or have that which you desire is the only means by which to experience your desires no limitation is imposed on that which you can have except your failure to assume possession of the quality or thing desired how the law works the law of identical harvest or cause and effect is impersonal and can be used to bring into your experience anything you can conceive since creation is finished every possible state already exists your fusion with a particular state imagining with feeling what you would experience were you in that state causes that state to be projected on your screen of space this law cannot be changed or broken and always reproduces in your outer world the exact duplicate of any belief you consent to as true if you would change your world you must change your beliefs since consciousness is the only cause you cannot blame others for the conditions which presently exist nor can fate or chance be the cause of that which you are now experiencing nothing can alter the course of events in your life except a change in your own consciousness whatever is appearing in your world now although it appears real and an unalterable fact is a reflection of previous activity in your own consciousness therefore a change in consciousness will reflect that change in the future just as surely as past beliefs reflect the present man is pure formless consciousness and that which he conceives himself to be is an illusion or reflection of the particular ideas he holds true these illusions exist only so long as man focuses his attention upon them and gives them life the conscious mind forms beliefs and opinions from the evidence of the senses or the perceived outer world the creative power within each of us accepts as true that which the conscious mind impresses upon it your creative power takes those ideas which are thought of with feeling and projects them in your outer world it is important to remember that not all thoughts are creative only those which are believed to be true or which are joined with feeling create the circumstances and events that you will encounter therefore emotions such as anger fear love or joy are creative you must guard the emotions which you allow to enter your consciousness just as you would discriminate in allowing a stranger into your home you cannot allow negative emotions to fill your mind without suffering the consequences of experiencing the state with which those emotions are joined fear of loss brings loss into your world you could take every outward precaution to guard against loss but if you fear loss you will most certainly experience it in your affairs feelings of love and joy create happy events and loving relationships feeling abundant brings riches into your life a person who is unloving or suspicious and feels that others take advantage of him draws to himself that which he believes no matter what he does externally his relationships with others will reflect that which he accepts as true he may want a loving relationship but he can draw to himself only that which he is conscious of being like literally does attract like as within so without consciousness is reality and that which is perceived by our senses and appears so real is but the shadow of that which we believe ourselves and the world to be conscious use of the law at this time i'm going to talk about who i am and what i'm doing if that sounds ego-centered it is there have been 66 books written about who i am i'm going to quote some statements from a few of those books you have heard many of these quotes but didn't realize that they were talking about the being that i am the first quote is taken from the book of exodus here moses is talking to god and he said when i go back to the people who shall i say has sent me the voice answers tell them that i am has sent me unto you that is my name forever and the name i shall be known by throughout all generations the ten commandments state thou shalt not use the name of the lord thy god in vain shalt not is a command shalt not means you must not it means that under no circumstances must you do it that name is i am now first of all we have all forgotten his name we say i am hundreds of times a day and we don't know we are using the name of god secondly we try to break the commandment all day long we pay no attention to what we say following i am when we say i am and follow it with something we would not like in our world we are using the name of the lord but not in vain the bible states we cannot use the name in vain nothing we say preceded by i am is in vain that's his name it is god himself and because it is god it is creative god gave us himself he is i am and that is who i am i can never forget that i am i may forget who i am or where i am but i can never forget that i exist whenever i say i am i am is creating something prayer is believing that we have already received that which we seek when i say i am i am attracting my awareness of being to something now you can lie and not believe what you are saying but you cannot believe something about i am and not create it we are creating morning noon and night by our i am statements if you say i don't feel well and you believe it you are perpetuating illness in your life you must change those statements do i feel wonderful we were taught let the weak man say i am strong but you can't say it like a parrot we have to pray say i am believing that it is true and then we will receive first we must be like the watchmen at the gate we must watch every thought that contains i am if you are observant you will see that you have created every circumstance and experience of your life another important word to watch is if the conscious mind is very subtle in expressing doubt satan or the devil we may be able to keep our minds focused on what we want by using positive i statements if we are not careful we may let a little if sneak in without recognizing its implication we could say i feel wonderful but then follow it with if the pain continues however i will see a doctor on tuesday ifs are always followed by something negative and that is simply doubt creeping in to steal the good seed we have sown remove the word if from your vocabulary as if it is not productive of that which you would like to reap if puts everything in the past or future tense and i always experience what i believe i am i am is not future tense getting well is not being well i must believe that i am already what i want to be remember every word that goeth forth from my mouth shall not return unto me void do you believe it in the beginning was the word and the word was with god and the word was god what's his name i am so begin to monitor every word i am that you say do you see a pattern don't the circumstances of your life reflect what you have been saying you have been misusing the creative power that is god i am now that you are aware of what you have been doing watch every word and make it conform to what you wish to bring into your life eventually you will have faith that what you are stating though there is no outward evidence to support it is a fact in consciousness and will shortly project itself so that you may experience it in the outer knowing that god actually became you because he is i am you must realize that you are using your power to create every time you use that name choice free will creation is finished and you have free will to choose the state you will occupy therefore it is important to determine the ideas from which you think any concept that is accepted as true will externalize itself in your outer world choice of what you will focus your attention upon is the only free will that you can exercise once a thought is accepted and charged with feeling the creative power within proceeds to externalize it whether your assumptions are conscious or unconscious they direct all action to their fulfillment it is a delusion that other than assuming the feeling of the wish fulfilled you can do anything to aid its realization your own wonderful human imagination determines the means it will use to bring your assumption to fruition each of us is subject to a sea of ideas we listen to the radio watch the news on television or hear some gossip if what we observe calls forth an emotion we have reacted and thereby planted a seed which will sprout at some future time thoughts do not recede into the past rather they advance into the future to confront us so that we may see that which we have planted either wisely or unwisely it is a worthwhile exercise to awake in the morning and imagine yourself at the end of your day having accomplished all that you wanted and feeling happy and contented if there is a situation that you will encounter later in the day that is of concern to you spend a few moments imagining the outcome you wish to experience these imaginal activities will now advance into your future to reveal the harvest you so wisely planted desire desire is a gift of god man is required to do nothing more than accept the gift by simply giving thanks for the unseen reality before he observes it in his outer world through desire god beckons us to lift our awareness to higher and higher levels of consciousness during our journey through this dream of life it is necessary to experience all possible states so that we may return as god the father but enhanced by having experienced both good and evil the desire to do more to be more and to have more than you are presently expressing is the urge for expansion you may question whether a desire to kill or injure someone can be inspired by god the answer is that no man actually desires to kill or harm another he may wish to be free from that seeming other and through his limited understanding he feels that the only way he can achieve such freedom is by destroying the other man does not realize that the desire for freedom contains within itself the power and the means to fulfill itself because of his lack of faith man distorts these gifts from god he does not realize that god the wisdom and power within him has ways that he as man knows not of and whose ways are past finding out learn to be grateful for the desires you have been given they already exist and are ready for embodiment in your world you are not called upon to do anything to aid their realization except to free your mind of any doubt as to how they will come about and completely accept them as you would a gift from a loved one be observant the importance of objectively observing your thoughts cannot be stressed enough it is easy to slip into thought patterns which can hinder us in achieving our desires it then becomes easy to blame others or attribute our frustrations to second causes being a rather impatient person i'm usually anxious to get home after work and i particularly dislike waiting in lines i began to notice that no matter what time i chose to pick up a few items at the market i would encounter problems at the check stand such as price checks needing to be done people writing checks who are trouble locating their identification and various other kinds of delays i found myself dreading these occasions and i wanted to do something about this annoying situation as i began to observe my thoughts i found that while standing in line i would say to myself i always have to wait then i realized that those statements made over and over again had created that which i did not wish to experience i consciously changed that statement too no matter when i stop at the market i never have to wait of course that new statement has worked just as well as the old negative one as you begin to observe your thoughts do not be discouraged if you find that your inner conversations do not match the way you would feel if you have achieved your goal you must first become aware of what you are doing with your creative power before you can begin to change it i ask you to go down to the potter's house and see what he is doing if the vessel is spoiled then rework it into the kind of vessel that will please you as you begin observing your thoughts you cannot avoid the realization that you alone are the cause of all that comes into your world you alone can change it appearances that which is controlling you in your world now is a result of your past thoughts beliefs feelings and imaginal activity these appearances will continue in being as long as you give them life through your conscious awareness of them you must disregard the evidence of your senses as it pertains to any undesirable condition in your life you must imagine and feel that you have already attained that which you want to experience rather than that which you don't want to continue in being this may appear difficult yet you have probably exercised this principle unconsciously to produce negative results when i was in my early twenties i found myself in a situation that was very unpleasant to me and i wanted to get out of it after attending a lecture by neville i waited to speak to him afterwards i briefly told him of my unhappy circumstances and was hoping he would offer some advice as how to change them he smiled at me and said don't accept it at that time in my life i did not fully grasp what neville had been teaching i thought he had misunderstood my question and i tried to clarify my problem by stating that i had already made the choice to be in the situation i now found so unpleasant neville again smiled and said don't accept it i left his presence quite frustrated thinking he had not understood my problem i continued to read the two books i had by neville i gradually understood that regardless of the circumstances which surrounded me i did not need to accept them as final i began to imagine what i wanted rather than focus my thoughts on my negative surroundings an event took place two weeks after i began my imaginal acts that it was instrumental in bringing about my heart's desire five months later that of a brand new home meanwhile the situation that had been so depressing to me improved and i spent the next five months planning what i would do in my new home think about some past disappointment you may have had perhaps you were looking forward to attending a special event with someone in your anticipation of it did you think this is too good to be true something will happen something will probably happen to spoil it something probably did happen to create conflict or to cause you to miss it entirely man finds it relatively simple to disregard the promise of something good by thinking of all the reasons why he cannot achieve it people around you may be quick to point out that you are being unrealistic when you mention a desire that appears difficult or impossible to reach we should all be unrealistic in the face of the army of doubt if we would experience our wish fulfilled we are called upon to disregard the facts which would deny the achievement of our hearts desire habit is the only thing that keeps our thoughts moving along the old familiar negative ruts no one can change your thought patterns and therefore your life but you it is worth all the effort it may take to center your attention and feel as if you already possess that which you want and place of things as they are consciousness is the only cause and the only reality every negative experience was produced by first giving attention and feeling to that condition what consciousness has made it can unmake your responsibility is to impress upon your mind the change which you wish to express your imagination is the creative power that can and will accomplish the end without effort and in a natural way appearances confirm are former habitual patterns of thought that which you imagine yourself to be today will project itself in your world tomorrow persistence in assuming you are the person you wish to be despite your present circumstances is the only condition imposed upon you to embody that ideal inner conversations all of us are mentally speaking within ourselves every waking moment our inner conversations must match the wish fulfilled if we would realize our desire if our desire is for a better job and we imagine ourselves being congratulated because we are gainfully employed in a wonderful position we must also make our inner conversations conform to that end we must be certain that we are not saying within ourselves something like that boss of mine doesn't believe in promoting people or it would be difficult to find any job at my age never mind a better one or similar statements that would imply that we do not have that which we desire we must persist in the feeling of our imaginal act by making our mental conversations conform to what we would say had we already realized our aim if for instance we wish to own a new car we would imagine a new car parked in our garage or imagine ourselves driving it or imagine our friends admiring it we must then make our inner conversations reflect the type of conversations we would engage in were we really the owner of a new car our conversations would consist of discussing our new car with friends such as telling them of the wonderful fuel mileage we are receiving or hearing our friends tell us how much they enjoy riding in our new car etc our inner conversations are just as creative as our deliberate imagining of the wish fulfilled in fact if they are of the opposite nature they can negate what we have imagined you must watch what you are saying internally to make sure that these conversations coincide with your wish fulfilled if you become aware that these inner talks contradict what you would like to achieve revise them so that they follow along the track that would indicate that you already have what you desire or are already the person you wish to be revision our present world reflects the sum total of all that you believe to be true of yourself and others that which you imagine yourself to be today goes forward and will confront you in the future if you have forgotten your imaginal activities of the past that which you see appearing in your world indicates the kind of seeds you have previously sown assuming the feeling of your wish fulfilled is using your imagination creatively to bring into your world that which you desire to experience you can use the art of revision to change the effects of prior thoughts and beliefs if for instance you have gone to an interview for a job you truly want but later learned that someone else was hired you can revise that news to make it conform to what you wish you had heard if you react by feeling depressed or assume any other negative attitude you will then experience the same type of rejection in the future your reactions whether positive or negative are creative of future circumstances in your imagination you can hear words congratulating you on getting a wonderful new job that imaginal act now goes forward and you will encounter this pleasant experience in the future as you review your day it is important to revise each negative reaction so that you can remember it as what you wished had happened rather than storing that memory as it did occur what you think of with feeling or emotion is an actual fact that which you experience in the physical world is merely a shadow reflecting the reality of your imaginal activity therefore when you revise a conversation an unhappy experience or quality about yourself you are literally experiencing it in reality your consciousness the elder world is a delayed reflection of the inner and is confined to a dimension of space where events occur in a time sequence revision then literally changes the past it replaces what occurred in the outer world with the revised version the revised scene then gives off its effect by going forth to change future events dwelling on past irritations or hearts perpetuates them and creates a vicious cycle that serves to confirm these negative emotions the circle can be broken by starting now to revise anything that you no longer wish to sustain in your world by revising the past you rid yourself of any effect it may have on your future revision is truly the key which can be used to unlock the doors that have kept you trapped in a particular state be transformed by the renewing of your mind states of consciousness all states exist and are a fixed part of creation anyone can enter a state consciously or fall into a state inadvertently you may move into different states throughout your lifetime or you may occupy a single state desire is what usually motivates us to move from one state to a higher level since a state is total and complete in itself when we enter a state we are compelled to behave in a manner dictated by that state for instance in the state of poverty we would find ourselves constantly in need of funds we would have difficulty making ends meet and having no way to enjoy luxuries should we be given a large sum of money if we remain in the state of poverty filling our mind with thoughts of lack and limitation we would soon find ourselves without funds and again experiencing the same difficulties the reverse would be true if we occupied a state of wealth when we are in a state we see only the contents of that state and are compelled to act in accordance with all that the state entails while in a particular state you believe certain things are true and one find it difficult to understand another point of view in the state of poverty it is easy to focus your thoughts on the problems of providing food shelter and clothing when you succeed in moving out of the state you no longer find it difficult to acquire these things most people attribute this change of fortune to a change in circumstances however unless you have moved from the state of poverty no change in circumstance would be permanent rather moving out of one state and into another in your imagination automatically creates a change in your outer world the bible has personified every type of state and calls these states by names known to us as moses noah job peter andrew and jesus throughout our journey we enter these states and experience all that they offer the last state we will enter is the state of jesus christ in this state we become aware that we are god the father that we have a son symbolized as david who personifies the sum total of all humanity the journey begins with adam who fell asleep and dreamed the dream of life and then entered the myriad states to gain the experiences necessary before awakening when you enter the state of jesus you know yourself to be god and your journey into this world of death is then complete the play as shakespeare said all the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players they have their exits and their entrances and each man in his time plays many parts this world which seems so real is as much a dream as the dreams we encounter while asleep our waking dreams seem so real because as continuity while our dreams at night appear to be random sequences taking places in unfamiliar surroundings and situations god is the dreamer dreaming the play into existence and god plays all the parts everyone who appears in your world is god playing that part for you the author no man comes unto me save i call him each of us is writing his or her own script if you are dissatisfied with the play it is up to you to rewrite the script to make it conform to your idea of what the play should be you cannot demand that the actors in your play change the characters they are portraying all changes must take place in the mind of the author if there is someone in your world who is the source of annoyance or irritation to you that person has no choice but to play the part called for you in your script there's nothing you can do on the outside to bring about changes in another you can use the art of revision to change a line of dialogue to replace a certain character with another and to write happy endings to the subplots of the play when you begin to view this waking dream objectively you will be able to verify that you have been the author of both the pleasant and unhappy acts in your play you can radically change the play by using your imagination creatively by assuming your wish fulfilled you can change the script on a daily basis by revising the scenes that did not please you the character who disturbed you today will not do so tomorrow if you write the dialogue you wish to hear and alter that role in your imagination when you awaken to know that you are god the father and author of this magnificent play you will understand that each man in his time plays many parts your real purpose god became you so completely that he forgot that he was god in becoming man god reached the limit of contraction and opacity god totally forgets that he has god in order to become and animate his creation man god then goes through all the experiences of knowing good and evil and even death in confidence the man will eventually awake from the stream of life to once again know that he is god there is only one god in the universe fragmenting himself as humanity and god plays all the parts in this time space stream your own wonderful human imagination is god in action i am is christ in you your savior and christ is the power of god and the wisdom of god god speaks to us through desire urging us to reach higher and higher levels of awareness exercising his own wonderful human imagination to achieve these desires man is actually experiencing god in action through faith in his imagination man will eventually conclude that christ the power and wisdom of god is within him as his imagination at the end of this fabulous journey or dream of life man will awaken to remember that he is god the father enhanced by the experiences he put himself through when he forgot that he was god man's sole purpose is to experience scripture all of the states of consciousness personified as men in the bible man's goal is to reach the state called jesus christ then he will know that he really is the father jesus and that his son is christ all of humanity fused into one being man may have many goals in the meantime to accumulate possessions to become powerful to become famous or to express anything that he desires eventually the hunger to know god will come upon him and he will then have the experiences that are necessary to bring his remembrance that he truly is god the father case histories this story concerns a woman who will be referred to as mrs a b she knew that imagination creates reality and had taught this principle to her three children ages 12 10 and 6. she had practiced this principle for years to obtain the things she desired although her husband had also heard this teaching he had not put it into practice and actually was quite skeptical about results one sunday afternoon this family went for a drive and came upon a new tract of homes for sale as this was a lovely rural area they stopped to look at the new models they all loved the area and the homes were large and beautiful with all sorts of modern amenities on the way home they asked about how wonderful it would be to own a new home in this tract they already owned a home however they had borrowed money on it and had very little equity that could be derived from itself the husband said that although he would like to buy the home it was not possible as they could not raise the money required for the down payment even if they sold their present home the real estate agent's commission would equal the little equity they would realize mrs a b told her husband that the only way they could obtain the down payment would be to sell their home on their own thereby keeping the commission for themselves the husband was very pessimistic about this but told his wife to go ahead and place an ad in the paper although he knew it wouldn't do any good he was sure that there was no chance of selling the house in this way the wife placed a small ad in the newspaper advertising their house for sale a few nights later when the husband had gone to bed early she and her children drove to the track of new homes she felt that if she could walk through the new house and capture the feeling of actually living there she would obtain her dream home it was dark when they got there but they found one of the houses unlocked she and her three children walked through the house the children decided on which bedroom each would occupy if they actually live there the mother instructed the children to actually sleep in the new house in their imagination that night and she intended to do the same for the next few days they imagined living in their new home and taking walks in the woods that were adjacent to the tract that same week a man answered the ad in the paper he did not seem very enthusiastic about buying the house but returned later that day with his wife he told mrs a b that they had decided to buy the house for the price she was asking when mrs a b expressed concern as how they would go about placing the home in escrow he told her that he was a real estate agent and would go through the company he worked for this family received the exact amount of money necessary for a down payment on their new home the escrow was very short and the family moved into their new home a month later mrs a b knew that if she imagined herself sleeping in her new home she would eventually sleep there in the flesh her children also learned how to obtain their heart's desire through the use of imagination mrs c d had recently been divorced and needed to work to support her children as her husband refused to pay child support although her lawyer suggested taking him to court for non-payment the woman did not wish to do this as part of the divorce settlement she was awarded a very old and not very reliable car one friday night as she was driving home from work it was raining very hard and most intersections were flooded she was about a mile from her home when she stopped at a stop sign a truck coming towards her from the opposite direction went through the intersection sprang a great deal of water as he drove past the engine of the woman's car died and she was unable to start it again she removed her shoes before stepping out of her car as the water was more than ankle deep she raised the hood and began to dry off the distributor cap with her handkerchief she was crying at this point and her tears mingled with the rain she finally got her car started and managed to get home to our children she realized that it was necessary to have a dependable car if she was to work and support her children she had no money for down payment on a newer car and she did not earn enough to make car payments she went to work the following monday and a co-worker asked her to go to lunch the co-worker had just purchased a new pontiac tempest and insisted that mrs cd drive her new car back to the office although mrs cd protested that she did not wish to drive someone's new car she did get behind the wheel and drove back to work while she was driving the new car she captured the feeling that this was her car and she felt the thrill of owning it for the rest of the week while she drove back and forth to work in her old car mrs cd imagined that she was driving a brand new car of her own the next friday mrs cd's ex-husband called and asked if she would like to have a new car this was the first time since their divorce several months earlier that he had offered to do anything for her including paying child support the ex-husband was now working for a new car dealership and told her that as a salesman he was eligible to buy a certain make of car for no money down and with very low monthly payments he said he was willing to make the monthly payments in lieu of child support and asked her to come to the dealership to pick up the color she wanted it just so happened the make of the car for this special deal was a pontiac tempest the same make and model as the car she had driven that belonged to her co-worker mrs cd was able to obtain through her use of imagination what she could never have obtained through her own efforts at that time her husband who had offered her no monetary support for months was the avenue chosen to provide her with the new car she needed this is the story of mrs e f who had a desire to live near the ocean and used her imagination to fulfill her desire she did not wish to sell her present home but wanted to lease it for a year before making the decision to move to the beach permanently mrs e f told two of her friends about her wish one friend who had used the principle of imagination told mrs ef that she could imagine visiting her at the beach in her new home one week later mrs ef traveled to hawaii for a scheduled vacation while there she received a call from a friend who lived in san diego the friend told mrs ef that a perfect little house had just come on the market as a year-round rental and she thought this house would be perfect for mrs ef her friend also said that this was a very desirable rental and that mr ef would need to make a decision immediately as the rental would very likely not be available when she returned from hawaii mrs yeff told her friend to tell the owners that she would take it trusting her friend's recommendation upon mrs ef's return from hawaii she told her grown daughter that she had decided to rent a house at the beach in san diego her daughter called her the next day and said that the mother of a friend of hers wanted to lease a house the woman came by the next day said she loved the house and would like to lease it for a year mrs ef gave notice at work and was able to move within a month since she was a nurse he had no trouble finding a wonderful new job at a nearby hospital mrs ef has since bought a house near the ocean and has spent 17 happy years living at the beach mrs yeah imagined that she was living at the beach and her friend imagined that she was visiting her there they did this for one week it is interesting that while she was on vacation in hawaii events moved swiftly to bring about her desire she did nothing to find a new home nor did she do anything to rent her present home imagination was able to draw the necessary people into her life so that her wish could be fulfilled what should be done after we have imagined our wish fulfilled nothing you think you can do something you want to do something but actually you can do nothing to bring it about god our own wonderful human imagination knows what things are necessary to bring about our desires it is only necessary to go to the end to live in the end my ways are past finding out my ways are higher than your ways if we trust our imagination it will accomplish all that we ask of it imagination can do all things have faith in it and nothing shall be impossible to you this story concerns a young man referred to as ep who was a wonderful athlete and was good at many different sports during this particular time in his life he became interested in paddling outrigger canoes he joined a team and was soon competing in local races in his second year of pursuing the sport he was on a team that competed in a 50-mile race from molokai to honolulu the hawaiian outrigger teams usually took first place and were considered unbeatable ep's team came in seventh and that was considered quite remarkable considering the great number of teams that competed from all over the world along with the hawaiian participants after this race ep began imagining that his team had won the race he spent the next year forming a new team practicing and building his own outrigger canoe he was convinced that if he imagined himself winning the race his team would come in first he next year his team and at least a dozen others flew to hawaii from southern california to compete in the annual race there were several teams with much more experience who were considered likely to place in the top ten although the hawaiians were still considered the favorites at the end of the race ep's team finished first ahead of the hawaiians and all the other teams ep now holds a paddle engraved with the words world champion which was given to him upon his team taking first place after winning this coveted title this young man went on to coach other teams he also began manufacturing paddles for outrigger canoes his pedals are known throughout the world and are used by outrigger teams who are among the top teams in the world ep now makes his home in hawaii and enjoys coaching teams manufacturing paddles fishing and selling his own boat he also uses his boat as an escort craft for the annual outrigger races mrs jk was living in her twin sister's home after having been divorced mrs jk had three children a son and a girl and boy twins her sister and husband had three boys needless to say this was a crowded household mrs jk was very desirous of getting married and living in her own home she had been dating a man but decided that they did not wish to continue the relationship and broke it off many of her friends attempted to fix mrs jk up with eligible men they knew but she was not interested in going on blind dates several of her friends commented that if she wished to meet an eligible man she would need to get out and go places the twins believed in the creative power of imagination and they had a friend who also knew of the power of imagining the three women determined that they would imagine a ring on mrs jk's finger which would imply that she was married they did this for several weeks during this time mrs jk also imagined herself living in her own home however when she attempted to do so she found herself imagining a home exactly like her sister's one day mrs jk received a call from a friend who asked her to come to her home and help her wallpaper her kitchen mrs jk agreed to help her friend who lived a few blocks away in the same tract of homes while she was there a male neighbor came to visit her friend the friend introduced mrs jk to her neighbor he later called mrs jk and they began to date five months later mrs jk married this man the interesting part of this story is that all of these people lived in the same large tract of homes there were only four homes in the tract of 1200 that had the same floor plan yes this woman's husband owned one of the homes that had the same floor plan as mrs jk's twin sister even though mrs jk imagined herself living in her own home she had only been able to imagine herself living in a house identical to her sisters this is a story about the friend mrs l m who had introduced mrs jk to her new husband during their friendship mrs jk had tried to explain the principle of imagination to our friend who was very doubtful that it would work one day mrs jk asked her friend to come to one of neville's lectures mrs lm agreed to attend but she was not at all convinced that imagining she would have what she wanted resulting in obtaining it but she decided to imagine a very simple thing the receipt of a handkerchief she imagined that someone had given her one and then dropped the whole idea much to her surprise she received a handkerchief in the mail from the mother of a friend who came to her house for lunch while she was in town for a visit this woman sent to mrs l.m a handkerchief with a thank you note mrs lm was not only surprised when she received the gift she became very frightened as she thought there was something supernatural about it mrs l m had attempted to disprove that imagination produces the thing desired when she received the handkerchief she had imagined she interpreted as some sort of black magic and didn't want to know any more about this teaching i could relate hundreds of incidences involving dozens of people in which imagination was used to bring about the desired results i've chosen just a few stories to illustrate that imagination can be used to solve all manners of problems and bring into your experience your every heart's desire and this concludes imagination creates reality you
